Pete Aardema’s 1943 Ford with a DOHC LT5/LS3 V8

Published in engineswapdepot.com

Greg Quirin continues his great coverage of the amazing projects coming out of Pete Aardema and Kevin Braun’s garage. This time Greg visited the garage to cover Pete’s custom 1934 Ford. The car is powered by a 6.2 L V8 built using a LS3 bottom-end and custom belt-driven LT5 DOHC heads. Behind the motor is a C5 Corvette shortened torque tube and 4L60E automatic transaxle. Greg also states the metal body was custom formed by Marcel’s Custom Metal in California. Listen to Pete explain how he built the car before a test drive.
